    The mic seems to working sometimes and sometimes has trouble hearing us, when we are right next to it.

      Hello, TanadetI. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm sorry to hear about the issue you're experiencing with your Echo Dot. I have a few recommendations to try and fix the issue:
      1. Proceed first with a restart of your Wi-Fi router by unplugging the power supply and waiting at least 30 seconds before plugging it back in.
      2. Unplug the Echo Dot from its power source, wait 20 seconds, and then plug the device back in.
      3. Check that the device is fully updated on software by going into the Alexa app.
      4. Ensure that you don't have the device muted, which you can tell by the Mute button illuminating red on top of the device.
      If you're still having issues, I recommend reaching out to Amazon Customer Support 24/7 at 1-888-280-4331. I hope these steps are helpful. Have a great day! AmazonDevices

      Hello Velavan! I am so sorry to hear that your Echo Dot is getting stuck. It may be requiring an update to help prevent bugs like this from occurring. You can check this by saying "Alexa, check for updates." If this does not fix the issue, then you can factory reset the device and reset it back up. You can do this by pressing and holding the Action button and Volume Down button simultaneously for 30 seconds or more until the yellow light begins flashing. It will take roughly a minute or two to come back up after factory reset. Once this is done, you can follow the setup instructions in your Alexa smartphone app to set it back up. If this doesn't help, then I would recommend contacting Amazon Customer Support at 888.280.4331 for further troubleshooting. I do hope these tips help you improve your experience and that you have a tremendous day! AmazonDevices

    Works ok but we preferred the larger model. This seems to be the only reasonable option now but we preferred the original echo.

      Hi EmilyR,

      We are sorry you are not enjoying your Echo Dot 5th Generation fully! The 5th generation model has improved speaker quality from the previous model, to help deliver clearer vocals and deeper bass for rich vibrant sound. You can ask Alexa to play music, podcasts, and audiobooks and enjoy a dynamic audio experience anywhere in your home. You can also adjust sound settings via the Alexa App if you are wanting more crisp vocals or bass specifically!

      If you have any further questions about your device please reach out to us at 1-888-280-4331.

      Hope that helps! AmazonDevices

    I have this and the Echo Dot 3rd gen. I like how they work and allow me to control the lights withing my house. Nice at night to control my bedroom without having to leave the bed. I have not set it up but I am going to setup my Espresso maker to to a smart plug so I can turn it on to heat while I get ready to go down stairs.
